Safar

Q: I would like to know the usool/adaab when travelling in a group and stop for salaah at a musjid where the salaah is almost finished. All the brothers in the group have wudhu but one brother doesn't have wudhu. Should all the brothers with wudhu join the jamaat leaving the one brother to miss salaah with jamaat, or should all wait for the brother making wudhu and perform another jamaat, or should most join the main jamaat and a few wait for the brother making wudhu and make another jamaat?

Q: A person travels to a place that is safar distance and intends staying there for 10 days. After 8 days the person changes his intention and intends staying for another 8 days. Will the person read full namaaz or will he be a musaafir? What about the salaah that was performed in the first 8 days? Will he have to repeat the Salaah?

Q: I work in a hospital, Peterborough, UK as a medical consultant physician which 58 miles away from my house, Nottingham. I stay in hospital accommodation for 5 nights and I return to Nottingham for 2 night. Whilst in Peterborough I do attend the salah in jamaat in the local masjid, Peterborough for Fajr, Asr, Magrib and Isha.

1. With regards to sunaah and wajib do I have to do full as a mukim?

Besides, during zohr prayer I cannot go to the masjid but I do salah al Qasr if other people are not around in the hospital prayer room. I recently come across a hadith in Arba'een of Imam Nawawi RA that if a person is punctual with four sunnats of zuhr and two thereafter, Allaah will make hell forbidden for him. I just feel that I am missing this great blessing if I do salah al Qasr during zohr time.

2. In light the above, can I perform four sunnats of zuhr and two thereafter, in order to derive the above benefit? Mufti Sahib I would appreciate if you could give a comprehensive fatwaa.

Q: If while traveling, I performed a Salaah without shortening it, is the Salaah valid? Am I in any way sinful? For example, I performed four rakaats for Isha instead of two rakaats, while traveling.

Q: If you travelling for Umrah and spend 7 days in Madinah and 7 days in Makkah are you a Musafir? Do you perform qasr salaat when on route and
performing alone. I understand you will follow the Imaam when in the Masjid. Do you have to perform the Sunnat of the salaat?

Q:

1. Does one start performing Qasr Salah once they leave their home intending to travel more than 48 miles even though they may not have left the boundary of their city or town?
2. Suppose one is at the airport in one's own city intending to fly abroad. Would such a person perform Qasr Salah?
3. If Qasr Salah can only be performed outside the boundary of the city, how does one work out what the boundary of the city is?
4. Is the 48 miles limit from door-to-door or from one city boundary to another city's boundary. If it is from one city's boundary to another city's boundary how does one go about ascertaining city boundaries?
5. To become a musafir is it once 48 miles is reached or does it have to be more than 48 miles?

Q: How many rakaats for magrib during qasar? Is it 2 or 3 rakaats?

Q: My brother is currently in India and had intended to be there for three weeks. His whole time will be spent in Mumbai only and will not travel
anywhere else. He has been there for the past week and has been performing qasr. He realised today that he will be staying for more then 15 days and therefore is not entitled for qasr. What should he do for the salaat of the past week that he performed as qasr whereas he was not supposed to?

Q: My question is regarding a woman in haidh. If a woman is in haidh and she is going to travel, will the conditions of salaah apply to her? When she reaches her destination, and she becomes tahirah, will she read qasr salaah or she will first have to travel a safr distance from there in order to read qasr or will she have to count the number of days she will be staying there from the day she becomes pure inorder to read qasr? Kindly send me the reference as well.

Q: My question is that if a person has two wives in Pakistan and he travels with one of them to Denmark for thirty five days where he is with her 20 days and went 15 days alone to Germany. When they come back to Pakistan, how many nights he should be with his other wife which he left in Pakistan. All 35 nights or 20 nights?
